Adoption Process
If you are interested in adopting from JCAPL, an Adoption Application must be completed. The application will be reviewed by one of our Adoption Coordinators. We are committed to making good matches between our animals and their potential new homes. If the application
is approved you will be required to complete an Adoption Agreement.
The Adoption Application can be emailed to adopt@jcapl.org or faxed to (919) 300-5524.

Dogs/Puppies (Click Here for Cats/Kittens)
JCAPL volunteers have puppies and dogs available for adoption each Saturday from 12 to 4pm (10am-2pm in summer) at the PetSmart in White Oak Crossing in Garner.
JCAPL does not have a shelter. Our dogs and puppies are in foster homes. If you see a JCAPL puppy or dog online that you would like to meet, contact us by sending an email to adopt@jcapl.org.
Please note that we do require a completed application in order to schedule individual meetings. Applications do not commit you to adopting nor do they guarantee approval.
The adoption fee for puppies/dogs is $175 and includes:
- Spay/Neuter ($100 deposit required to adopt an unneutered/unspayed puppy – more info)
- Heartworm tested and current on prevention
- Deworming

- Current on monthly flea and tick prevention

Some of JCAPL’s adoptable cats and kittens can be seen at the Luv-A-Pet Center at the Petsmart at White Oak Shopping Center in Garner during their regular business hours. JCAPL volunteers are at the White Oak Luv-A-Pet Center Saturdays from 10am-2pm and have additional foster cats and kittens on site during those hours.
If you see a cat or kitten or kitten at the Luv-A-Pet Center, let a Petsmart manager know and they will be able to assist you. If you are interested in meeting a cat/kitten you have seen online, or are not able to be at Petsmart during our adoption hours, please contact us by sending an email adopt@jcapl.org. We will then get in touch with you as soon as possible to arrange a meeting.

"My name is Coffee. I am beautiful, dark brown, neutered Lab mix puppy. JCAPL rescued me from a local shelter. While I was there, I had surgery to repair my Cherry Eye, which as you can see did NOT work. The great vets at Clayton Animal Hospital can repair my eye but JCAPL needs some help raising the funds for the surgery. Can you help me? Once my eye is all better, I can be on my way to finding my furever home! Please help if you can and share me with your friends. You never know who might be able to donate a little something to help me. Donations can be made at Clayton Animal Hospital or they can also be mailed to JCAPL, P.O. Box 607, Smithfield, NC 27577. You can also give donations to our volunteers at any adoption event. JCAPL will gladly give you a donation receipt."
